Hi All,
My family and I have re-located and are without our beloved Jotul Castine. Our new home has a fireplace located in the center of the home which approx 1500 sq'. The we are trying to decide which ave to pursue.... Woodstove or Insert? To make a wood stove work we would have to do quite a bit of modifying of the hearth/masonry.
My wife found an insrt made by the Belgian Company called "Stuv" They have a rep in Chicago who says they are supeior to all manufacturer's. I am skeptical. They certainly are more exspensive.
I am not very adept at the concept of an insert. Do they require a blower to heat a home? Anyone have one of these Stuv insert's?
Sure do mis my Jotul....
